Neglect toward artists
Al-Watan newspaperEVERY human being is born with one talent or another gifted by God. People can either develop these skills or ignore them. The neglect of talents may occur from individuals themselves, their families or the community at large. An individual's negligence will take the form of not trying to refine and develop a skill by practicing it regularly.The family's negligence may be in the form of total disregard to the demands of a talented child or failure to provide him or her with moral and material support to implement new ideas. The community may neglect such children by not providing them with safe and secure places to practice their talent. The worst form of negligence, in my opinion, is to discourage the talented people in different ways and to put obstacles in...

The citizenship conflict
Al-Jazirah newspaperIN the past two weeks several articles have been published on the issue of granting citizenship to children of Saudi women born to non-Saudi men. I have noticed a number of factual errors and inaccurate information in those articles. Some of them highlighted the issue of human rights while others spoke about the rights of women and children.There were articles that raised the banner of justice and equality. Some writers accused those having opposite views as racists, close-minded, ignorant, misogynists and usurpers of women's rights. By doing so, these writers were actually attacking the citizenship system of the country and were practicing intellectual terrorism against those who opposed their views.This is like an organized media campaign with the participation of...

The landmark foreign trips by the Crown Prince
Al-Jazirah newspaperTHE landmark visits by Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defense, to Egypt, which is the heart of the Arab world, as well as to Britain reminded the world of the original image of Islam as a moderate faith that calls for dialogue between religions and cultures and the defeat of extremism propagated by certain hard-line groups.Western Orientalists tried to portray Islam as a religion of extremism in the minds of officials associated with academic and media institutions, emphasizing the need for the historical necessity of a clash of civilizations, specifically between Islam and Christianity.Since ascending the Saudi throne in 2005, King Abdullah initiated a series of efforts to fight terrorism and extremism, including the rehabilitation and...

My house and Suhaimi’s mosque
Makkah newspaperPROFESSOR Mohammed Al-Suhaimi used to be my neighbor, but he is no longer there and I do not really know the reason for his departure, even though I did not sing any song or make a call for prayer. If such a thing happened I would not have been surprised because he would not be my first neighbor to be annoyed by my voice and leave.Seemingly disturbed by the loud prayer calls, my dear neighbor one day gave a TV interview in which he said children were "terrified" by the noise of the adhan from the mosques. Then his enthusiasm increased a little. He went on to claim that the use of microphones for making prayer calls was the practice of those who pledged allegiance to the hardline Al-Sahwa (Islamic Awakening) Movement. The group had openly opposed state...

How to deal with an inferiority complex
Al-Eqtisadiah newspaperDO you feel useless? Do you get hurt when you hear someone else receiving a compliment? Do you think you are targeted by everyone, including your professor, boss, colleagues and friends? Do you feel vulnerable when you get criticized? Are you easily affected by words? If you are dealing with all these negative feelings, you might be suffering from an inferiority complex i.e. a general feeling of inadequacy. There is no doubt that these feelings are difficult to deal with but you can gradually overcome them. I personally have read articles and interviews by professionals who spoke about this subject in detail. The article that stands out the most in my mind was written by Helen Bradly in the Daily Telegraph. Based on what I read, here are some solutions that I would...

Saudization is not racism
Al-Madinah newspaperIT is unfair that some people describe the process of Saudization and putting Saudi citizens first as racism. It is as if they are only looking at the issue from one side. However, the population in Saudi Arabia is increasing and young males and females, who make up 70 percent of the population, are in a serious need for jobs.Saudi citizens do not want jobs to have fun or pass time, rather they need jobs to live and survive. They want jobs because they do not want to be poor but in order to support their families, get married, have children and support their own homes. As a result of the large number of expatriates who occupy a large number of jobs and the loopholes in employment that have not yet been fixed, many of these young males and females are unemployed.If this...

New means of transport in the Kingdom
Al-Madina NewspaperONE of the most amazing royal decisions that our country saw was the decision to establish the Al-Haramain Railway Project between Makkah and Madinah, and which goes through Jeddah and King Abdullah Economic City in Rabigh with five stops. This decision was made in the interest of citizens and reflects on the keenness of our rulers.This project is managed by a consortium of 12 international and local companies which have been able to execute this project according to international specifications. The project competes with other countries. I sat on a pilot journey last week from Madinah to King Abdullah Economic City in Rabigh. It was an interesting experience with a group of businessmen. The trip was well organized and began from the entrance to the main station in...

Who will return my SR200?
Al-Madina NewspaperTHERE is a popular Arabic saying that roughly translates to “When a trader faces financial hardship, he goes through his record books to find a solution.” It is a proverb that suggests by going back to one’s roots, a solution can be found during time of financial hardship.This saying represents what some writers do when they run out of new ideas to write about; they go back to an old archive which is full of many topics to discuss. There are also countless topics that can be found online which I believe are of interest to my readers and I feature them in my columns when I run out of ideas.I recently read a touching story about a woman who lost SR200. The woman posted a flyer in which she asked whoever finds the money to kindly return it to her. She also provided...
